WHS-ANSER ADMIN SUPPORT BRIDGE

The Washington Headquarters Services Acquisition Directorate, acting on behalf of the Office of the Secretary of Defense’s Organizational Policy and Decision Support Directorate, plans to award a sole source bridge contract to Analytic Services (ANSER) to continue providing administrative and general management consulting services. This contract will bridge the gap between the expiration of the current contract on January 31, 2019, and the anticipated award of a new competitive contract later in fiscal year 2019. The bridge contract will cover a five-month period from February 1, 2019, through July 31, 2019, ensuring uninterrupted support in administrative management and general management consulting under NAICS code 541611. The award will be made under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B), which allows for acquisition without competition under specified circumstances. This notice explicitly states that it is not a request for quote or proposal and will not acknowledge or honor requests for solicitation copies. The contract is being administered by Washington Headquarters Services, with contract management handled by the named contracting officer and contract specialist. The contract's primary location and agency are within the Department of Defense's Washington, DC area. The bridge contract secures continued critical support services while the competitive acquisition process is underway, maintaining continuity of operations and services within the Office of the Secretary of Defense’s policy and decision support functions.
